This prohibition defines a hard boundary on permissible use, distinguishing these services from GCP and Looker which customers may integrate into their own applications.
Interpretive note: The excerpt as quoted explicitly names all three services (Google Workspace, SecOps, Cloud Identity) in the integration prohibition but then references only 'Google Workspace Services' in the create-or-host prohibition. The canonical claim merges both prohibitions; the precise scope of the create-or-host prohibition as to SecOps and Cloud Identity Services is uncertain from the truncated excerpt.
Customers are prohibited from building, hosting, or integrating Customer Applications using Google Workspace Services, SecOps Services, or Cloud Identity Services.
